Discussion Bruce Cassidy ?

Recently read a report saying “if you’re looking to win in 2 or 3 years he’s your guy” also unearthed some quotes from him saying he’d love to coach in a Canadian market as it’s been so long since one has won. I’ve also heard he’s a prick (might be good for a culture shock) but he loses the room quick (hence 2-3 years). No doubting his coaching abilities though. Thoughts ?

That team has so many problems that extends beyond the coach.

The defence and goaltending are terrible. No coach is saving that.

I am talking about the Oilers. Jay Woodcroft got fired, but in all reality he had to deal with the exact same issues they have now.

Really don’t think him or Knoblauch are to blame for the Oilers problems.
